Answer: Option D
Explanation: In simple words, technology upgrading refers to the process in which a firm intensely changes the level of technology it is using for its operations. In such a process the organisation implements a more advanced technology so that it can enhance the operational activities within.
Technology up gradation is a necessity in today's competitive business environment but if implemented in a right way it can give an organisation a strong competitive advantage which will open new doors to success.
For example automobile industries upgraded their technology to a higher level which made the operation at such a high scale that it became an oligopoly industry.
An oligopoly industry is the one in which there are few firms operating at a high scale with difficulty in entry due to heavy investments.

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The following two errors were made in the physical inventory counts: 1. 2018 ending inventory was understated by $8,000. 2. 2019 ending inventory was overstated by $4,000.
We were not provided with the relevant information to recalculate the cost of goods sold, but, I can provide the formula to solve the problem.
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
1- COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - (ending finished inventory + 8,000)
2- COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - (ending finished inventory - 4,000)
Question
Suppose Country Cafe restaurant is considering whether to (1) bake bread for its restaurant in-house or (2) buy the bread from a local bakery. The chef estimates that variable costs of making each loaf include $ 0.52 of ingredients, $ 0.23 of variable overhead (electricity to run the oven), and $ 0.78 of direct labor for kneading and forming the loaves. Allocating fixed overhead (depreciation on the kitchen equipment and building) based on direct labor, Country Cafe assigns $ 1.04 of fixed overhead per loaf. None of the fixed costs are avoidable. The local bakery would charge $ 1.74 per loaf.
- What is the absorption cost of making the bread
- What is the variable cost
- Should Country make the bread or buy
- What other factors should be considered
Answer
- Absorption costing cost per unit= $2.57
- Variable costing cost per unit=1.53
- It will be cheaper for Country Cafe to produce internally than to buy from outside as it will save $0.21 per unit of bread
- See explanation for other factors
Explanation:
Absorption cost= Direct cost + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead
= 0.52 + 0.23+ 0.78 + 1.04
= $2.57
Variable cost of making the loaf= Direct cost + Variable overhead
=0.52 + 0.23+ 0.78 = $1.53
$
Variable cost of making 1.53
External purchase price <u>1.74</u>
Extra cost of external purchase per unit <u>0.21
</u>
It will be cheaper for Country Cafe to produce internally that to buy from outside as it will save $0.21 per unit of bread
Non-Financial factors
Product Quality. Country Cafe needs to be sure that the quality of bread to be provided wont be undermined. should it decides to buy.
Trade secret: is there a guarantee that the contractor would not divulge or abuse the privileged information about the ingredients to be mixed and some other trade secrets
Delivery : Reliable and timely delivery are very important. Would the external supplier be able to meet expectations?
